Homeoffice Board Member - Board of Directors bei Infillion

Introduction

Infillion is at a pivotal stage in its evolution. The company operates within a $500 billion global digital advertising industry that is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in its history: the move from human-driven, programmatic media buying to Agentic AI media buying.

This transition requires scaled, integrated infrastructure capable of supporting real-time transactions, identity resolution, fraud detection, and campaign execution. While many competitors are still building or adapting legacy platforms, Infillion has already assembled the necessary infrastructure through $750 million of prior investment acquired at significant discount. This positions the company uniquely to capture leadership in the next era of advertising.

For prospective directors, this creates an opportunity to contribute to a company with:

• A clear path to $2–10 billion valuation within the next 4–5 years.
  
  
• A proven track record of capital-efficient acquisitions and integrations.
  
  
• A Certified Employee-Owned culture, with 30%+ of the company owned by employees.
  
  
• Strategic positioning as the first mover in the “Agentic Execution OS” category.
  
  

Board Composition and Role Definitions

The company is deliberate about aligning board composition with its growth phases. Directors are recruited not only for governance, but also for their ability to create tangible value through strategic insight, network activation, and capital access.

Why This Matters Now

The advertising industry is undergoing structural change, with AI transforming the buying process. This shift will create clear winners and losers. The winners will be those who already control scaled execution infrastructure and can integrate AI quickly.

Infillion is in that position today. With a four-year market window, a proven infrastructure backbone, and a founder-led, employee-owned culture, the company is poised for outsized growth.

For board members, the opportunity is to contribute to a transformation that is both commercially significant and strategically unique: shaping governance, guiding capital formation, and supporting the company as it builds toward mid-cap status and a strategic exit in the coming years.

Conclusion

Joining the Infillion board offers the chance to participate in a generational opportunity at the intersection of advertising, AI, and infrastructure. Directors will help guide a company that combines:

• Market leadership potential in the next era of media buying.
  
  
• Capital-efficient growth with significant upside.
  
  
• Governance excellence tailored to ambitious goals.
  
  
• Employee ownership that ensures alignment across all stakeholders.
  
  

The market is shifting. The infrastructure is already built. Infillion is ready to lead.
